Fuuka (Original Japanese Version) is a romantic drama anime series that brings to life the story of a young boy named Yuu Haruna, who has just relocated to Tokyo from his small town. The first episode of the series titled "Fuuka!" introduces the audience to Yuu, the protagonist of the story, and his new surroundings.

The episode starts with Yuu walking in the streets of Tokyo alone and trying to find his school, which he has never been to before. He seems lost and nervous, which is evident as he repeatedly checks a hand-drawn map and asks the locals for directions. After being directed to his new school, he walks through the gate and is greeted by a girl, who is a grade senior to him. Her name is Koyuki Hinashi, and she is shown to be a popular student in the school.

Koyuki introduces herself to Yuu and offers to show him around the school. As they walk on the school grounds, they exchange pleasantries and talk about their common interests. Yuu is quite shocked to learn that Koyuki is a big fan of the same musician as he is, and he becomes quite excited to have met someone with whom he can share his interests. The two hit it off instantly, and Yuu seems to be enjoying his new school as he has made a friend.

Later on, the episode shows the audience Yuu struggling to fit in with his classmates due to his introverted nature. His attempts to strike a conversation with his peers, largely go unnoticed, and to make things worse, he is unable to connect to the school's Wi-Fi network. Yuu's obsession with tweeting about his day is further highlighted when he starts to panic about not being able to go online.

As Yuu walks back home, frustrated and sad, he bumps into a girl who has headphones on and is not attentive to her surroundings. As a result of the collision, he drops his phone and left earbud, which leads to him picking the girl's broken earpiece. She introduces herself as Fuuka Akitsuki, and we get a glimpse of her quirky personality as she introduces herself in a roundabout way. Fuuka thanks Yuu for his help and then continues with her way.

The next day, while Yuu is walking to Homeroom, he is surprised to find that the girl he bumped into yesterday is now his classmate. The episode shows the audience Yuu trying to break the ice with Fuuka by starting a conversation that goes nowhere, which is characteristic of social awkwardness. Yuu and Fuuka are shown to have completely different personalities, with Fuuka being outgoing and Yuu being reserved, and this is apparent in the way they interact with each other.

As the episode progresses, Yuu's relationship with Koyuki is further explored, and she is shown to be someone who cares about Yuu's well-being. Yuu, on the other hand, is shown to be putting up his guard, which is likely due to his past experiences.

In the last few minutes of the episode, Yuu is shown to be trying to fix Fuuka's broken earphone, further showing his kind and generous nature, and this is where the episode comes to a conclusion.

Overall, the first episode of Fuuka does an excellent job of introducing the audience to the protagonist, Yuu, and the other major characters of the series. It sets the tone for the rest of the show, where we can expect to see Yuu's relationships with Koyuki and Fuuka being explored. The episode provides the audience with a glimpse of the different interpersonal relationships that will likely be the focus of the show. It also leaves us wanting more, as we are yet to see where Yuu's relationship with Fuuka will lead to.
